The MissionThe Racing for Heroes' current mission is running two 'ChumpCar' Series competition entries and two dirt circle track vehicles in select races pertaining to the schedules of each form of racing. The team will consists of service disabled Veterans and is led by Special Forces Operators, CW3 Mike Evock, USA, RET. and Major Kurt Cook, USA, RET. with the support of many other Veterans who are specialize in helping the Team work to its fullest potential.

The GoalOur goal is to provide an environment of Team, the same Team that our Veterans had while in the service, and the excitement and adrenaline that comes with motor sports racing. We have found success in reaching out to Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and providing them with resources to help deal with the challenges they face, because these are the challenges that many of our Team members face too.

The WhyWhy is this so important? It is just racing, correct? Nothing could be further from the truth. It is the Team. Being surrounded by others, regardless of personal experience, share the common bond of Brotherhood and Sisterhood. The mentality that we all shared while in the military, where it's about the Team, about the person to your left and to your right, and their safety and well-being comes before your own. Many of the Veterans we have the honor of working with, suffer from PTSD and TBI. For them, the racing is a life-saving activity.The camaraderie established and enhanced by racing have kept many of our Team members on track and in some cases, alive. Knowing the team will be getting together at the garage at night and racing on the weekend provides purpose and adds meaning to life. Many of our Veterans face challenges after they separate from their military service, many feel as though they're 'outsiders' or 'misunderstood'. Racing For Heroes provides the community, a place to be part of a Team again. To share a common goal and mission. To have a place to feel alive again.There are many of us who need a shoulder to cry on, a patient ear to listen, and most of all a hug to let our heroes know they are not alone in their daily battle. We provide that space, we know the challenges, because many of us face them too.
